Create detail part histories

Use the History dialog box to generate a graphical history of revisions of detail parts. You can compare two revisions of the same detail part or two revisions of different parts. Teamcenter displays the differences graphically in the viewer and uses color coding to indicating the type of changes performed on the parts. You can also view the differences in a tree-format structure with color-coded icons indicating the types of changes performed upon them. Use a standard view, tricolor mapping, or distance mapping to view the changes between detail parts. Use this view To Standard view Display two detail parts side-by-side. The part colors correspond to the current legend settings. Tricolor mapping Display the two detail parts at the same position. Click the Preferences button to set the color of common material and of each of the two part group materials.
